Discover
Herefordshire is beautifully tucked away for those wanting some scenic escapism, but also filled with a treasure of things to do, places to visit and experiences to have. We are spoilt with a rich history, an active community and an abundance of brilliant artisan makers; from food, to drink to art. Herefordshire has an a host of historical properties, gardens and locations to explore with or without children, both National Trust properties (Croft castle, Berrington Hall and The Weir Garden) and privately owned Hampton Court, Bosbury Gardens and Hergest Croft. We have gathered a list of a few of our favourite things to do and see to begin your planning.
Golfing at England’s Highest Course
Tee off at Kington Golf Course at a whopping 1,100ft and enjoy stunning views over 7 counties. Available for guests also and with buggies available its only a quick 10 min drive away. Just avoid the roaming sheep if you can and walkers from the Offa's Dyke path. Alternatively Herefordshire golf course is also nearby at Weobley, and Leominster Golf also has a handy driving range and bowling alley.
Penrhos Distillery, British Cassis & Tyrells Crisps
One of Herefordshire most famous exports is Tyrrells crisps located just down the road and worth a visit and a quick crisps tasting. Alternatively in the parish of Lyonshall is Penhros Distillery with is delicious award winning flavoured gins and spirts, or the beautiful British Cassis farm - both of which do farm tours and tasting sessions. Ask us for more info.
Wye Valley Canoes and Bikes
Hire some canoes (or kayaks) or also some - enjoy a fun activity and the stunning black mountains scenery as you go. Endless picnic spots en-route or once collected and taken back to The River Cafe enjoy a delicious meal or coffee looking over the waters. Then wander to the rivers edge to skim some stones or paddle those toes to recover. Perfection.
